Confidence is now returning with at least five new spots opening in Cairo recently

It's the weekend in Cairo and the city's upper crust is letting loose at The Garden, one of the latest night-time spots to open in the Egyptian capital.

The city's hip young things strut their stuff on the dance floor while cocktail waiters confidently juggle bottles behind the bar.

But behind the whirls, twirls and clinking of glasses is some serious investment.

Nearly half a million dollars has poured into this stylish venture since it began.

"We have a lot of support from sponsors, from different international and multinational companies that see it as an opportunity to offer their brands and their experiences as well and it makes it way more profitable," said owner of The Garden, Ismael Kassem.

"There hasn't been a better time to open and attract people to positive experiences than the time we are in now."
